The stereoselective C-F bond borylation of tetrasubstituted β,β-difluoroacrylates has been achieved. In contrast to the previously used Bpin reagent, which only led to dimerization products, this work employs the unsymmetrical diboron reagent (pin)B-B(dan) under the palladium(0)-catalyzed conditions to access novel boronamides containing the monofluorinated vinyl-B(dan) functionality. These compounds can cross-couple directly with -difluoroalkenes without reactivation in Suzuki-Miyaura reactions to afford vincinal difluoro 1,3-dienes with modular control of the substituents.

Herein, we report a straightforward practical and simple method for efficiently synthesizing a BF-containing unsymmetrical diboron salt. This method involves the direct desymmetrization of commercially available diboron(4). This desymmetrization is based on a selective B-masking strategy via nucleophilic trifluorination, providing the elusive diborons bearing a trifluoroborate group.

We describe a 1,2-alkylboration of 3-alkylidene-2-oxindoles with a diboron reagent and alkyl bromides and iodides enabled by copper/bisphosphine catalysis. This scalable alkylboration method provides facile access to 3,3'-dialkyloxindole boronic esters featuring an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter and an increased F(sp) fraction. In addition to good functional group tolerance and prolific utilization of drug/pesticide-derived alkyl iodides, the conversion of the C-B bond to a C-C/C-X bond offers further opportunities for structural variation of 3,3'-dialkyloxindoles.

The incorporation of two distinct boryl groups at the same carbon center in organic molecules has attracted growing research interest due to its potential for facilitating controlled, precise synthesis through stepwise dual carbon-boron bond transformations. Here we report a method to access unsymmetrical 1,1-diborylalkene (UDBA) stereoselectively via the reaction of readily available alkynes with a neutral sp -sp diboron reagent (NHC)BH -Bpin (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene). Attributing to the chemically easily distinguishable nature of the sp and sp boryl moieties, controllable stepwise derivatization of the resultant UDBAs is realized.

Bisborylalkanes play important roles in organic synthesis as versatile bifunctional reagents. The two boron moieties in these compounds can be selectively converted into other functional groups through cross-coupling, oxidation or radical reactions. Thus, the development of efficient methods for synthesizing bisborylalkanes is highly demanded.
